Two product announcements recently for the Canadian market which I missed because I've been roaming about. Firstly the long-awaited announcement that Smart will be bringing the ForTwo to Mercedes dealers here in the fall. They are bringing the diesel for the Canadian debut. Maybe I should drive one to the coast.Secondly the Vespa scooter is due to reappear in Canada after an absence of 18 years. Back when I was sixteen I had a maroon Vespa 125 so I always have had an affection for this Italian classic. Details here.
